Platelet hyperactivity is the hallmark of thrombosis and hemostasis disorders including atherosclerosis, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, and cancer causing significant mortality and morbidity. Therefore, regulating platelet hyperactivity is an ever growing interest. Very recently, basal autophagic process has been demonstrated to be essential for normal functioning of platelets. However, autophagy can be elevated above basal level under conditions like starvation, and how platelets respond in these settings remains to be elucidative. Therefore, in this study we demonstrate a substantial autophagy induction (above basal level) by starvation, which decreases platelet aggregation responses to various agonists. The decreased aggregation in starved platelets was restored in combination with autophagy inhibitors (3-methyladenine and NHCl) and acetate supplementation. Starved platelets also showed decreased calcium mobilization, granule release, and adhesive properties. Furthermore, ex vivo platelets obtained from starved rats showed increased autophagy markers and decreased aggregation responses to various agonists. Our results distinctly explain that enhanced autophagy and cellular energy depletion are the cause for decreased platelet activation and aggregation. The study emphasizes the cardinal role of starvation and autophagy in the management of diseases and disorders associated with platelet hyperactivity.

Although platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated considerable regenerative potential in regenerative endodontic treatment, its clinical efficacy may be limited by the rapid degradation of its bioactive components, leading to inconsistent outcomes. To overcome this challenge, the present study explores the use of nano-sized exosomes derived from PRP-a novel designated as PRP exosomes (PRP-Exo)-as a more stable and targeted biomolecular delivery system to promote odontogenic differentiation within the dentin-pulp complex. The primary objective is to investigate the expression of key odontogenic markers, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and Dentin Sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), in human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) following PRP-Exo treatment.

Activation of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptors α and β (PDGFRα and PDGFRβ) at the cell surface by binding of PDGF isoforms leads to internalization of receptors, which affects the amplitude and kinetics of signaling. Ubiquitination of PDGF receptors in response to ligand stimulation is mediated by the Casitas b-lineage lymphoma (Cbl) family of ubiquitin ligases, promoting internalization and serving as a sorting signal for vesicular trafficking of receptors. We report here that another E3 ligase, i.

A new paradigm has emerged recently, which consists in shifting from cell therapy to a more flexible acellular "extracellular vesicle (EV) therapy" approach, thereby opening a new and promising field in nanomedicine. Important technical limitations have still to be addressed for the large-scale production of clinical-grade EV. Cells are cultured in media supplemented with human platelet lysate (hPL) (xenogenic-free) or GMP-grade fetal calf serum (FCS).

Objective: This study analyzed the potential of various concentrations of the thrombin-activated platelet-derived exosome (T-aPDE) to regenerate the dental pulp by performing an analysis of the cell viability, migration activity, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) expression of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).
Material And Methods: The hDPSCs were collected from nine third molar teeth of nine healthy donors and were isolated and cultured using the explant method. They were harvested between the third and fourth passages and starved, after which they were seeded in the following treatments: Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium and 10% platelet-rich plasma-thrombin as the control groups, and 0.

Diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes, is the leading cause of blindness globally. Müller cells are key players in diabetes-associated retinal inflammation and dysfunction. However, the pathological changes of Müller cells in response to high glucose (HG) and the underlying mechanism remain unclear.
